In Their Words: “‘Canyon’ is about friendship and shared hardship that people go through when they choose to live an unconventional lifestyle. If you want music to be your career it is a road that is full of so many wonderful moments, but each of those is earned by working very hard every day. A very close friend of mine, Zarek, inspired me to write this song last summer. He works harder than anyone I know and even at his lowest moments he still wakes up every morning to practice and pursue his dreams. He does this with kindness and grace and when I have my own struggles I remember I am lucky to have a friend who knows the same ups and downs that I am going through. It makes it easier to keep going on those days.” — Chris Dent
